name

You will get suggestions as you type in your query, they tell you what your query will return, and you can select one for an exact match.
The query is not case sensitive.
This search uses an automatic wild card at the end of the query to match all endings (unless the query is in double quotes).
The query is an ordered set of search terms, so viola l. will match "Viola L." and "Viola L. sect Viola."
Putting double quotes around your entire query will cause it to be matched exactly (except case). e.g. "Viola L." will match just Viola L.
You can use a % as a wild card inside the search query e.g. hakea elon% be or "hakea % var. elon% benth." to find "Hakea ceratophylla var. elongata Benth."

Neotype: "TYPE: U. S. A. Texas: Van Zandt County, Hill Ranch, ca. 0.5 mi. N of TX State Highway 64, ca. 7.6 mi. W of Jct. of Highways 64 and 49, 32°23.952′N, 95°32.921′W, 166 m, 31 May 2014 (fl), S. Hill 454 designated here: BRIT!; isoneotypes: BM!, G!, MO!, NY!, P!, US!, UT [2 sheets]!)."

Etymology: "The specific epithet derives from the Latin word for dimidiate, meaning to be so unequally divided in halves that one half appears to be lacking. Rafinesque applied this term to describe the often unequal base of the leaf blades, with one side usually offset 0.3–1 cm from the other side."
